Adelindis is in Origin.

Adelindis is a Latinized medieval Germanic feminine name formed from adal "noble" and lind, a name-element meaning "gentle, soft" and by extension "linden" or "shield" (the wood used for shields). The composite thus conveys "noble and gentle" or "noble shield." The -is ending reflects Latin documentary style rather than the spoken form; in German the everyday form is Adelinde or Adelind.

Attested in early medieval charters from Alemannic/Swabian regions, the name is linked to a venerated noblewoman known as St. Adelindis of Buchau. While rare in modern use, it appears in onomastic revivals and regional traditions in southern Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Variants and related forms include Adelinde, Adelinda, Adalindis, Adeline and Adelina (French/English developments), and the short forms Ada, Addie, Linde, Linda, and Lina. Semantically it sits near, but is distinct from, Adelaide (Adalheidis).
